[PATCH v2 0/2] net: start kdoc'ifying net_device

[PATCH v2 0/2] net: start kdoc'ifying net_device

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

While working on extending some functionality I felt restricted
with the amount of documentation I can add. Part of this is that
the existing style on the header files don't let me be verbose.
This starts addressing that by using kdoc for the net_device
flags, and as Ben noted, the priv_flags can be moved out from
UAPI.

Luis R. Rodriguez (2):
  net: kdoc struct net_device flags and priv_flags
  net: move net_device priv_flags out from UAPI

[PATCH v2 1/2] net: kdoc struct net_device flags and priv_flags

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

We have documentation for these flags but they're scattered
all over the place. #defines don't allow documentation to be
written easily so to help to start bringing some documentation
together use the enums kdoc practice but keep the defines to
allow userspace to be able to #ifdef them.

I've verified the same values are assigned before and after
with a simple userspace test program [0] and checksumming the
output.

[PATCH v2 2/2] net: move net_device priv_flags out from UAPI

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

These are private to userspace, and they're unstable
anyway and can be shuffled at will (see 080e4130b1fb)
so any userspace application relying on them is on crack.

Test compiled with allyesconfig.

mcgrof@drvbp1 /pub/mem/mcgrof/net-next (git::master)$ make allyesconfig
